#3 Suso – AC Milan
Suso was a name on the lips of several Liverpool fans who keenly observe the club’s academy prospects in the early part of the current decade. The Spanish midfielder showed a creative spark very few young players possess, was technically gifted and had the ability to take on his man and beat him with skill.
The player had it all in his armor and looked the next big thing out of the club’s famed academy. Where did it all go wrong? Some attribute it to his poor attitude and several others claim that the player was not suited to the pace and physicality of the Premier League. After struggling for game time at Anfield and failing to impress when presented with an opportunity, Suso initially joined Almeria on a season-long loan before moving to AC Milan on a permanent deal in January 2015.
He, however, failed to break into the AC Milan first team in his first season and was sent to Genoa on a loan in the January of 2016 to help him find game time. That move perhaps could be defined as the one that helped him resurrect his flailing career.
This season, the 23-year-old is finally showing glimpses of why he was regarded as one of the brightest young talents on the planet not long ago. He is Milan’s creator-in-chief having created 47 goal scoring opportunities in 27 appearances and has also found the back of the net on six occasions, the 2nd highest after Carlos Bacca.
With a proven ability dribbling past his man, the Spaniard is definitely a player that features in the opposition team talk. With him finally proving his mettle in one of the top leagues in Europe, we hope that he keeps his head on his shoulders to progress into an elite footballer.
